Chapter 1: Jumping Off the Edge

BellaPOV:

"I'm coming! I'm coming!" I screamed from upstairs.

Today's the day we all FINALLY graduate from high school! All of us! Me, my boyfriend Edward, Laynie and Rhett, Denise and Briley, Riley and Logan, and Kate and Cody, my best friends! Edward was waiting for me at the bottom of the stairs. The rest were crammed into Kate's hippy van. We all had on our purple and gold graduation gowns and our hats. Underneath mine was a white floral sun dress and my yellow heels.

I can't believe we're done with this hell-hole. College is going to be way more fun! ... I hope at least. Edward held out his arm for me. They were all waiting in that stupid hippy van with Cody at the wheel and Kate in the passenger. How do we all fit into that thing at once? I have no idea.

"GOOD MORNING CULLEN FAMILY!" Kate quoted from Extreme Makeover: House Edition, or in other words, one of her many favorite shows. I smiled back. I climbed in the far back of the van with Edward at my heels. The doors shut and we were off to high school, for the last time.

KatePOV:

I turned on the radio to 101.5 country. Someone else calling you baby was on.

"Ohh hell no! We are NOT listening to this crap! 102.5!" Riley argued.

"Yeah! Me and Riley weren't raised with country music. We had REAL music our whole lives!" Briley shot back. Riley and Briley are twins. They agreed on almost everything.

"Hey, my car, my music! And plus, I'm not the ONLY one who likes country. Laynie just so happens to too! So HA! Now shut up and get over it!" I screamed back. Cody put a reassuring hand on mine. He glanced at me, he, out of experience, knows not to say anything about my music. But he's the only one who knows how to calm me down. It's those big brown eyes! They just get to me!

"Baby is someone else calling you baby?
It's driving me crazy,
this being in the dark.
Goodbye ain't never easy,
so break it to me hard.
If you're over my love girl,
lay it on my heart,
don't try to save me.
Is someone else calling you baby?" Me and Laynie sang when the chorus came on. Denise even started to sing. When the song was over we all busted out laughing because it sounded like an animal was dying in this van.

When Cody pulled up to school, I think we all held our breath, like if we made a sound, this would all end in a dream.

"This is it," Denise said. We all looked to our boyfriends/girlfriends. I took Cody's hand.

Logan answered the silence," Why are ya'll nervous? We've been waiting for this day since wait? 6th? I mean come on! I'm ready to leave this place!" he had a point. I opened the door and climbed out. Once everyone was out, we all headed towards the football field.

LayniePOV:

"Our Valedictorian, Laynie Ambers!" Mr. Harris called. I walked up, he switched my tassel. I had the biggest smile on my face. I made my mom a promise that I would win valedictorian. Me and Kate had a huge fight about that when they announced I won. She's been trying to do as good as me or better with grades since the 8th grade. I really did feel bad. But Riley made us sit down, tell each other what we felt, and that really helped. Now were closer than ever. Thanks to Riley.

"And our salutatorian, Kate Waguespack. Congratulations girls, you did good," Kate got up from the back of the class, walked all the way to the front, and her tassel was moved. She sat back down, proudly, with her diploma. Mr. Harris called the rest. Me and Kate both received full scholarships to LSU, but, that was not our place. And since we also got full scholarships to South Eastern Louisiana we decided on that. All of us are going there. We couldn't leave anybody. I was going into psychology. I've wanted that for a while now. We all took our class picture. Then we drove to Edward's house for our party. When we all arrived, I think everyone's jaw dropped. I knew Edward's sister Alice was creative, but I didn't know she could completely transform a wide open space of nothingness into…THIS! Everyone sort of staggered around, astonished. There was a huge dance floor in the middle of the space. Above that was a canopy of lights and flowers and balloons. They had a table for each couple; one for parents and one for us. On each table held a silver sparkly tablecloth, an intricate candle piece, Mrs. Cullen's fine china from Paris, a bottle of champagne, a extravagant name plate with a little tiny swirl pattern on them, and a bouquet of roses. Each table's roses were different colors. The color matched the girl's favorite color. Of course, me and Rhett's were purple.

"Holy shit, Alice! This is breathtaking! Can we sit?" I asked like a child. I was starving and if Jasper, Alice's fiancé was cooking, we would be eating like royalty.

"Of course, let me show you to your seats," she answered like a well paid waitress.

Once everyone was seated, we waited patiently for what we will day know to be one of the greatest party of our life.
